Do you have to b part of a training gym to compete in NAGA etc. or can anyone enter the competition? When you join a grapling scool can you compete right away or they make you wait etc. Who in NYC allows students to compete in Grappling events Immediatly ( at leats after 2 months)
Anyone can enter. I went by myself; although, it was more fun when I went with some teammates to a different tournament.
Your new gym might want you to wait until they feel you are ready, since you'll be kind of representing them.
You can enter by yourself. But if I ran a club, I wouldn't let you enter, representing me, until you've had enough training from me, that I feel you're prepared.
